AA Thought for the Day

June 30, 2004

Amends

To have courage, to be unafraid,
are gifts of my recovery.
They empower me to ask for help
and to go forth making my amends
with a sense of dignity and humility.
Making amends may require a certain amount of honesty
that I feel I lack,
yet with the help of God and the wisdom of others,
I can reach within and find the strength to act.
My amends may be accepted, or they may not,
but after they are completed
I can walk with a sense of freedom and know that,
for today, I am responsible.

Thought to Ponder....

It is the highest form of self-respect
to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.
